No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
Answer: The terms suction and discharge are the terms refer to hydraulics. In hydraulics if the the liquid has to be lifted or pumped to the usage area the hydraulic pump will be used . This pump will have to functions that is first suction to lift the fluid and the discharge or delivery . The familiar words in pair are lift and discharge; suction and discharge. The specification of pump for these terms are suction head and discharge head.AnswerThe suction pressure refers to the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor. The suction pressure is a critical variable in ensuring the accuracy of the refrigerant charge, along with the tepmerature of that line as well. The "superheat", or heat added to the vapor in that line can be monitored in this manner.You have not mention which suction pressure... Actually Where ever the suction is presented that pressure is called suction pressure.... and suction pressure in practical cases normally always less that atmospheric pressure and in case of delivery pressure it is oppositeSaying that suction pressure is " the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor " is not accurate.Simply , the suction pressure of a pump is the absolute pressure of a fluid , measured at the inlet of the pump ( in your answer , the pump is the compressor , and the fluid is whatever refrigerant. )The discharge pressure , is the absolute pressure of the liquid measured at the outlet of the pump.Obviously, the discharge pressure is usually bigger than suction pressure.
Dirty condenser coil, high ambient temperature, problem with condenser fan, overcharge, non condensibles, high indoor load are the first places I would look. In that order.
To compensate high suction volume during startup of he pump. the reducer area below the pipeline at the suction stores excess volume of fluid.
Net Positive Suction Head. It is the difference between hydraulic pressure and vapor pressure, usually of concern at the inlet of a pump. Without sufficienty high NPSH at a pump inlet, there will be cavitation in the pump. Within a centrifugal pump there can be pressures lower than at the inlet as the fluid is moved by the impeller. If any of those pressures is lower than the vapor pressure, vapor pockets- bubbles- form and you get cavitation. A more complete explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPSH
18-20psig suction 250-270 psig discharge In freezers pressures are ok .I got it ,but the mention pressure of suction 18-20 discharge 250-270 at what temprature in centegrade it should be.
Discharge side........
No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.
discharge pressure is high, suction pressure is high superheat is low and subcooling is high.

IT COULD THAT YOUR SYSTEM IS EITHER OVERCHARGED OR UNDER CHARGED. ALSO CHECK YOUR FURNACE FILTER.AND MAKE SURE YOUR OUTDOOR UNIT is clear of dirt and obstructions. --------------------------------------------------------------- There are several reasons for a compressor to overheating High compression ratios are the result of either lower than normal suction pressures or higher than normal discharge pressures. Changes in suction pressure will affect the compression ratio more rapidly than changes in the discharge pressure. For this reason, it is important to keep the suction pressure at its highest possible value. Causes of low suction pressure can include incorrect sizing of components, misadjusted or defective metering devices (TXVs), loss of refrigerant charge, plugged driers or strainers, and excessive suction line pressure drop. Although not as sensitive to change as the suction pressure, the discharge pressure can still greatly affect the compression ratio. Keeping the discharge pressure within normal operating conditions is still important. Causes of high discharge pressure can include dirty condensing coils, undersized discharge line, a blockage or recirculation of condenser air, erratic condenser fan operation, refrigerant overcharge, noncondensibles in the system, and an undersized condenser.
These are terms used by refrigeration and air conditioning techs. The suction is refrigerant returning to the compressor from the evaporator, or the low side. The high side is the discharge or head pressure, where high temperature high pressure gas leaves the compressor to flow into the condenser. These systems should only be worked on by licensed and experienced techs.
Using a set of a/c gauges put the blue hose on the low side (suction side) and the red hose on the high side (discharge side) to first check the pressures..... Add freon if needed and keep the pressures as follows.. low side readings between 30 to 40psi and the high side between 200 to 250psi depending on the outside temperature…………….
The suction side of a GM AC compressor is located at the inlet port, where refrigerant vapor is drawn into the compressor from the evaporator. This side typically has lower pressure compared to the discharge side, which expels high-pressure refrigerant vapor. The suction line connected to this port is usually larger in diameter and may be insulated to prevent heat gain.
Dirty condenser coils, high outdoor temp and heavy indoor load if coils are clean. Overcharge.
Low side is the suction side and will have the larger hose attached to it and the high side is the discharge side and will have the smaller hose........
If you are asking why the low side is high and the high side is low that would indicate that you have a restriction in the a/c system...........
